I think Dave and Amin will do great, hopefully even better than us before them.

Just askin'. Y'all ain't fixing to get Crotch Rockets and Wings are you?

Other members wanted to know, not me.

On another site I've been helping a new owner resurrect a 99 Drifter 1500.

We've been working through Mick's problems with a 17 year old Nomad.

We've been discussing Progressive fork springs and shocks.

What are we supposed to talk about, Victory's?

This is the Vulcan Bagger Association, afterall.

I went to the VROC reunion last month, mainly because 2 friends were getting married.

MaKaw has pulled the majority of their support furnishing raffle goods.

Why?

Many believe it's because there are more Hondas and Harleys than Vulcans.

Is someone who doesn't own a Vulcan has a problem with this Vulcan site...WTF!

I'm here because of my passion for my Vulcans, all 3 of them.

The 13 year old Nomad that is almost completely restored.

The 20 year old A model that I'm not sure which direction to go with.

And the 9 year old 500 that I got for my dad.

This site has become what VROC used to be, someplace where owners share information and experiences related to their Vulcans.

Yes, we do welcome members who moved on to other brands, but the focus here still is our Vulcans.

If you want a 'social' group there's FaceBook for that.

This was not directed at one specific individual, but rather the underlying issue brought up.

I'll get off my soapbox now.

Just please, don't insult our organization.

You missed my point completely. I re-read this and all it reminded me of was:

[Kawhead]

You sly dawg. I knew you couldn't leave.

Like my wife and girl friend wont leave me either. I'm too damned charming, virile, vigorous, potent, fantastic in the sack and give 'em a lotta money.

Congratulations all around guys the family and positions.

Yes, Both. I plan on hauling my rocket around on a trailer behind the Wing, while the wife and kiddos follow in the Subaru

From a 1936 book The Best Loved Poems of the American People called: Judged by the company one keeps:

One night in late October,
when I was far from sober,
Returning with my load, with manly pride;
My feet began to stutter,
So I lay down in the gutter,
And a pig came up an’ lay down by my side;
A lady passing by was heard to say:
‘You can tell a man who “boozes”
by the company he chooses’
And the pig got up and slowly walked away.

Hash, hash indeed!


My favorite poem is from a 1933 Three Stooges Show:

"Little fly upon the wall,
ain't ya got no clothes at all?
Ain't ya got no shimmy shirt?
Ain't ya got no petti-skirt?
Boo fly, ain't ya cold?"

At your recommendation ill take your sound advice about ending my membership.

No nerves struck here, Brad. Just wanting you to get off the fence and do one thing or another... it's time to get a resolution. When you finally figure out that this is about you and your attitude toward the VBA and not me or anyone else, you'll be a better person.

At any rate... good luck with everything BD. I look forward to seeing you at a rally or get-together and seeing that Victory Cross Country in the future.

Dave Jesse (Budman) has accepted the position as VBA president. Dave will be a great president for VBA. Dave has in one way or another help with several of VBA’s rallies. He has been leading in the south central region for years and both he and his wife enjoy riding their Vulcans.

At the end of the month this change will be finalized. Dave Jesse (Budman) will be the new VBA President with Amin Bakri (Rasta) as the Vice President. Can everyone please show your support to these two as they lead VBA.

Best,
Jared

Congratulations to Dave for becoming the President. There is simply not a better choice, in my book, for the position.

I can already see some of the things he is doing. It will only get better.

[Kawhead]

Oh yeah, didn't you read the Reuters AP release a couple days ago?

One twirls a baton to another one, that one twirls the baton to another one like abuncha little girl cheer leaders!

Now this noble bunch of PROUD self-absorbed egomaniacal butt monkeys are standing around holding their POGS in one hand slapping each other on the fannies with the other.


One made another on president 'cause he helped at a rally! BFD!!!! Whadiddy do? Oh, I remember, he was one of the ten that showed up at the last rally and open a camping chair for you! HOW SWEET!!!!

This place ain't what it use to be!!!!!!!!!!




What a Motorcycle Rally. Five bikes and ten butt sniffing guys standing 'round drinking Michelob Light!!!!!

This place ain't what it use to be!!!!!!!


I triple dawg dare anybody to double dawg dare me to leave!!!
